Mike Love's Beach Boys are coming back to the UK.

Brian Wilson's sad death earlier this year closed the door on the chance of a Beach Boys reunion for the last time, but his cousin and bandmate Mike Love continues to tour with his version of the band.

Love's Beach Boys features long-time and classic era member Bruce Johnston, as well as a supporting cast of accomplished musicians including Mike's son Christian Love.

And next year, Love's Beach Boys will be coming to the UK for a number of shows that will help mark the 60th anniversary of Wilson's crowning glory, Pet Sounds.

The group's Sounds of Summer Tour will see them play The Piece Hall in Halifax on June 17, 2026 and Guildhall Square in Southampton on June 18, 2026. Tickets went on general sale last Friday, November 21.

They will be joined on both dates by British art rockers 10cc.

10cc these days still feature founding member Graham Gouldman alongside guitarist Rick Fenn, who first joined the band in 1976.

Before those shows, the Beach Boys will play an outdoor concert in London, though 10cc have not yet been added to that bill.

The band play the Royal Hospital Chelsea as part of the Live At Chelsea series on June 14. Tickets go on general sale this Friday, November 28 at 10am via LiveAtChelsea.com. A presale starts tomorrow.

Pet Sounds was released on May 16, 1966 and featured the singles 'Caroline, No', 'Sloop John B' and 'Wouldn't It Be Nice'/'God Only Knows'.

It went platinum in the US and double platinum in the US and has frequently topped Best Album of All Time" lists from fans and critics.
